'World of Warcraft' is getting a major addition 10 years after coming out

"World of Warcraft," the online role-playing game that became synonymous
with the genre thanks to its record-breaking success in the
mid-2000s, is about to get a new chapter in its decade-plus saga
of orcs, humans, and lots and lots of clicking on colorful icons.

Developer Blizzard announced an expansion for the game at
industry show Gamescom 2015. Titled "World of Warcraft: Legion,"
the expansion brings a new story for subscribers to play through,
one that sees the return of The Burning Legion — one of the
"Warcraft" series' most classic foes.

Online role-playing games like "World of Warcraft" are meant to
be played in perpetuity, where users can create their own fantasy
characters and take them on theoretically
endless adventures, full of treasures and mysteries meant to
keep players on the hook for as long as they're willing to play.
